Easy Butternut Squash Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 small/medium butternut squash peeled seeded and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lime sliced
  • a small bunch of fresh cilantro leaves chopped
  • green onions finely chopped to garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add butternut squash and saute for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Be sure to keep a close eye on the squash so it doesn't burn.
  • Add in minced garlic and cumin.
  • Season with sea salt and pepper to taste, then stir to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes more, until the squash is crisp tender - stirring once or twice.
  • Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro and green onions. Enjoy!
